Hi, Chris, I believe it says "N. Y." for New York, don't you think? I noticed when I viewed other pages in that county that the enumerator abbreviated other states. Emilie Port Orchard, WA ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Pineda Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 10:16 AM To: ranchos@yahoogroups.com Subject: [ranchos] Penmanship Help... Hi all,
I've been struggling for months to decipher a word on
the attached 1880 Census Form. Specifically, I cannot
tell what the country of origin is for the mother of
Thomas (Tomas) Hale, my GGG Grandfather.
According to family history, he was born in Monterrey,
Nuevo Leon to Irish-born parents. I don't know why or
how they ended up in Mexico, or even his parents names
or where in Ireland they were from.
I realize this is specific to Nuevo Leon, not a state
relevant to this listserve, but I still hope someone
with a sharper eye than my own can tell me what the
word is.
On the form, I can make out that his father was born
in Ireland but I have no idea what the word is for his
mother's country of origin. This part is not aligned
with his name, but it most certainly applies to him
(see the attached form to see what I mean)
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chris Pineda
